Get Over Maldives – These 7 Unexplored Destinations Are Perfect For Your Honeymoon!

While wedding planning is a stressful time for most people, it’s the honeymoon planning that has everyone excited. You get to relax after a hectic schedule, take time off from just about everything and go on a long vacay with the love of your life. Sounds like a pretty damn good way to start ‘forever together’ if you ask me.

However, it’s sad to see that honeymoon spots have become so limited. It’s either the cliched places in Europe or Maldives or our very own Thailand. Guys don’t you worry, step away from the ordinary and explore the exotic. So here are seven unexplored and unconventional places around the globe where you can go for your honeymoon.

Stroll through the stunningly beautiful private beaches together and experience luxury like never before. Indulge in fun activities like surfing and local cuisine cooking classes and let yourself be pampered by incredible massages like the Cleopatra bathing ritual for two. Also, there’s a legit heart-shaped island there, romantic enough!? AND, you don’t require a visa; win-win!
